Poison Tree
by Ghost Ship

Album: A River With No End

This tree bears strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, it's dead at the roots
The cracked grey branches are decaying within
Just like the black poison that hangs from it's limbs

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ

I tried to tie good fruit
To a tree that had poison all the way through
It rotted and fell off, it was dead at the core
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before

I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I'm grafted in, You've killed my sin
Now I can live, I'll live in him

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out..
